MELODICA MELODY AND ME ON TOUR/ RELEASE IMPERFECT TIME

Melodica, Melody and Me have already achieved a great deal for what is still the bands very early days and their individual early years. Their first two singles Piece Me Back Together and Come Outside were play-listed by XFM and enjoyed repeated outings on Radio1, Radio2 and 6Music. While the early internet buzz soon bubbled into the print sphere, with glowing coverage in - to name only a few- NME, Sunday Times Culture Magazine, Songlines and Guardian. Having toured with Laura Marling, Monford & Sons , Bombay Bicycle Club and Johnny Flynn MM&M have, in the past, been filed under nu-folk. However as their new single Imperfect Time - and the forthcoming debut album from which the track is taken - will prove, the sound of MM&M is something far bigger, wider reaching and adventurous. Growing up in Brixton, they were raised on the sounds of thier multi-cultural neighbours spanning countless continents and genres. The songs of MM&M therefore seamlessly marry Latin American notation with African-inspired rhythms, while blurring reggae style skanks with traditional folk finger picking, creating a catalogue of music embracing eclectic melodica lines, charango riffs and violin swoons - all flowing as one harmonious, intelligent, complex, yet totally accessible sound. Or as Observer Music Monthly so eloquently put it: "Incredibly beautiful, with harmonies and rich instrumentation that make you want to dance and cry at the same time."This full to the brim and impressive musicality combined with MM&M’s high-energy live performances soon saw them in demand on the festival circuit, playing to major crowds at Camp Bestival, Secret Garden Party, Electric Picnic, Green Man and even headlining the Club Dada stage at Bestival.
